Child Sacrifice Psyop 

You see how willing they are to sacrifice your kids right?
Hym "Don't let them convince you it's about the kids. They are willing to sacrifice the kids all day. This is literally a child sacrifice psyop. The only problem they actually have is that I'm NOT murdering your kids. They got called out on their hybrid Jew/Gazorpazorp dictatorship and now the women think lying to stop me from getting credit for creating AI males them smart (Which it doesn't. Still a dumb bigot) and the Jews just want people who express views that are antithetical to their incest cult to fail as a way of validating their incest cult."
